Khalid 'Heatstroke' by Ramez Silyan

Rob Ulitski - 22nd Aug 2024

Ramez Silyan directs an incendiary promo for Khalid, as the video for Heatstroke switches between conceptual performance setups and a slowly burning miniature environment, reflecting the title of the track. 

Radiating an anachronistic, wistful vibe throughout the video has a lingering sense of surreality permeating the concept, which is elevated by the unusual techniques on display.

Combining the R&B artist's performance with a Thunderbirds-like miniature set, that's burning up under the power of the sun is a striking way to address the theme of the song - and also address real-world concerns. 

An offbeat and inspired idea that also manages to fit the lilting energy of the track.
